Traditional Starter Loc Installation
Coils or two-strand foundation
Service Description
This service establishes traditional starter locs using your natural hair and is ideal for clients ready to begin their loc journey with a clean, intentional foundation. Your appointment includes a scalp and strand assessment, cleanse, sectioning, starter loc installation, hydration support, and guidance for caring for your locs as they begin to form. Starter locs may be created using braids, two-strand twists, or coils depending on your hair texture, length, and the overall look and foundation best suited for your hair. A consultation may be required for high-density hair, longer hair, smaller loc sizing, scalp concerns, or when the best starter method needs to be determined before booking. Appointments are approximately 3 hours. Pricing starts at $185 with a $75 deposit. Standard Starter Locs are $185, Long or Dense Starter Locs are $235, and Small-Part Starter Locs are $285. Final pricing may increase based on hair length, density, desired loc size, parting detail, detangling needs, or additional time required. This service is not for children under 13. If the client is 12 or younger, please book Lil Royalty Starter Locs instead. Please arrive with your hair loose, detangled, and free of heavy oils, gels, braids, twists, or extensions. After your appointment, avoid tight ponytails or styles, do not shampoo unless you are prepared for the possibility of restarting the locs if needed, and plan to schedule your next maintenance appointment within 4 to 5 weeks. If any questions come up after your service, you are welcome to follow up by email, text, or phone.
